A 3 hour river cruise goes 15 km upstream and then back again. The river has a current of 2 km an hour. What is the boat's speed and how long was the upstream journey? [U]Set up the relationship of still water speed and downstream speed[/U] Speed down stream = Speed in still water + speed of the current Speed down stream = x+2 Therefore: Speed upstream =x - 2 Since distance = rate * time, we rearrange to get time = Distance/rate: 15/(x+ 2) + 15 /(x- 2) = 3 Multiply each side by 1/3 and we get: 5/(x + 2) + 5/(x - 2) = 1 Using a common denominator of (x + 2)(x - 2), we get: 5(x - 2)/(x + 2)(x - 2) + 5(x + 2)/(x + 2)(x - 2) (5x - 10 + 5x + 10)/5(x - 2)/(x + 2)(x - 2) 10x = (x+2)(x-2) We multiply through on the right side to get: 10x = x^2 - 4 Subtract 10x from each side: x^2 - 10x - 4 = 0 This is a quadratic equation.

A mother gives birth to a 10 pound baby. Every 2 months, the baby gains 5 pounds. If x is the age of the baby in months, then y is the weight of the baby in pounds. Find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes the baby's weight. If the baby gains 5 pounds every 2 months, then they gain 5/2 = 2.5 pounds per month. Let x be the number of months old for the baby, we have: The baby starts at 10 pounds. And every month (x), the baby's weight increases 2.5 pounds. Our equation is: [B]y = 2.5x + 10[/B]

Find an equation of a line in the form y = mx b that describes the baby's weight. The baby gains 4 pounds every month, where x is the number of months since birth. The baby boy starts life (time 0) at 6 pounds. So we have [B]y = 4x + 6[/B]

So we add 7 pounds + 2/3 times the number of months passed since birth.

Rose weighs 140 pounds and gains 10%. What percent of her new weight must she lose to get back to 140 pounds? Find her new weight after the 10% gain: New Weight = Starting Weight * (1 + 10%) Since 10% is 0.1, we have: New Weight = Starting Weight * (1 + 0.1) New Weight = Starting Weight * (1.1) Plug in our numbers: New Weight = 140 * (1.1) New Weight = 154 To get back to 140, Rose must lose 154 - 140 = 14 pounds.

The fraction has a value of 3/5. The sum of the numerator and the denominator was 40. What was the fraction? We're given two equations with a fraction with numerator (n) and denominator (d): [LIST=1] [*]n + d = 40 [*]n/d = 3/5 [/LIST] Cross multiply equation 2, we get: 5n = 3d Divide each side by 5: 5n/5 = 3d/5 n = 3d/5 Substitute this into equation 1: 3d/5 + d = 40 Multiply through both sides of the equation by 5: 5(3d/5) = 5d = 40 * 5 3d + 5d =200 To solve this equation for d, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=3d%2B5d%3D200&pl=Solve']type it in our search engine and we get[/URL]: d = [B]25 [/B] Now substitute that back into equation 1: n + 25 = 40 Using [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=n%2B25%3D40&pl=Solve']our equation solver again[/URL], we get: n = [B]15[/B]

The singular form of the word "dice" is "die". Tom was throwing a six-sided die. The first time he threw, he got a three; the second time he threw, he got a three again. What's the probability of getting a three at the third time? Since all trials are independent: 1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6 = [B]1/216[/B]

The sum of the digits of a 2 digit number is 10. The value of the number is four more than 15 times
The sum of the digits of a 2 digit number is 10. The value of the number is four more than 15 times the unit digit. Find the number. Let the digits be (x)(y) where t is the tens digit, and o is the ones digit. We're given: [LIST=1] [*]x + y = 10 [*]10x+ y = 15y + 4 [/LIST] Simplifying Equation (2) by subtracting y from each side, we get: 10x = 14y + 4 Rearranging equation (1), we get: x = 10 - y Substitute this into simplified equation (2): 10(10 - y) = 14y + 4 100 - 10y = 14y + 4 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=100-10y%3D14y%2B4&pl=Solve']Typing this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get: y = 4 Plug this into rearranged equation (1), we get: x = 10 - 4 x = 6 So our number xy is [B]64[/B]. Let's check our work against equation (1): 6 + 4 ? 10 10 = 10 Let's check our work against equation (2): 10(6)+ 4 ? 15(4) + 4 60 + 4 ? 60 + 4 64 = 64

There are two bells in the school. Bell A rings every 2 minutes. Bell B rings every 3 minutes. If both bells ring together at 8.02 p.m., when will they ring together again? Using our[URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/gcflcm.php?num1=2&num2=3&num3=&pl=LCM'] least common multiple calculator,[/URL] we find the LCM(2, 3) = 6. Which means the next time both bells ring together is 6 minutes from now. 8:02 p.m. + 6 minutes = [B]8:08 p.m.[/B]
